Convenient location just right next to platinum mall. Good for shopaholic. Walking distance to Big C and central world. But Bangkok is not a pram friendly place. Prepare to carry your strollers up and Down the stairs if you are traveling with young kids. A bit far from Siam Paragon/BTS, can take a taxi/tuk tuk ride if u are lazy to walk.
Building is like 70s style, quite old and lifts a bit slow even there’s 5 lifts! Apartment is quiet and with pool view. Balcony floor seems dirty but perfect place to dry your clothes. Washing machine is located at the service balcony next to the kitchen, lots of spare cleaning agents, shampoo or shower gels. No need to bring if you are not fussy.
Overall good points are: location, swimming pool and a nice warm water jacuzzi and sauna on 8/f. Great spa below the block, cheap 24hrs supermarket and fast food at the block. Powerful aircon, good amenities, Big fridge, easy to use washing machine and drying racks provided, fuss free check in and out.
Downsides: only the ‘common’ areas like dining tables and chairs are cleaned, the washing basin counter, dressers and cupboards seems quite dusty and you have to clean again before using. Can’t flush toilet paper in the toilet bowl. (But perhaps it’s the norm in Bangkok?!) kitchen cabinets and kettle seems old, only can use microwave but don’t expect to cook. Only local Thai TV channels, no English channels at all. Apartment only have 4 dining chairs, may not be enough if u have kids or >4 pax check in, requested from host but didn’t manage to get any extra. Master bed room toilet renovation seems very old compared to the common toilet.
Overall, it’s suitable for shopperholics who spend most of the time out of the apartment.
Regardless, prompt reply from host if you have questions even though didn’t get to see him in person.
